I don't see a Pro nor a Switch 2 until sales cool off. Nintendo is just doing so well.



konnichiwa on 07 January 2023

A comparison with last year would be nice :).






Sogreblute on 07 January 2023

Numbers 49 and 51 are the same.



Slownenberg on 07 January 2023

OP you have Dragon Quest XI S on there twice at #49 and #51
